3. INSPECT SEAT CUSHION HEATER CONTINUITY
(a) Disconnect the seat back heater from the seat cushion
heater.
(b) Heat the 2 thermostats with a light and check that there
is no continuity above 50 °C (122 °F) between terminals
A1 and B2, A2 and B1.
(c) Cool the 2 thermostats below 40 °C (104 °F) between ter-
minals A1 and B2, A2 and B1.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the seat heater.
4. INSPECT SEAT BACK CONTINUITY
Check that there is continuity between terminals 1 and 2.
If continuity is not as specified, replace the seat back pad.
5. INSPECT IGNITION MAIN RELAY CONTINUITY
ConditionTester connectionSpecified condition
Constant1 - 2Continuity
Apply B+ between
terminals 1 and 2.3 - 5Continuity
If continuity is not as specified, replace the relay.
